jhameiaI gotta stop doing this to myself. Yesterday was out because I had to do a seminar, had a meeting with Dr. HM, and then had an evening meeting with the SF reading group followed by a convivial hanging out at the bar. And then today was Latino SF Day, which was a full day thing and I'm so tired right now. Two days of reading, off the books. Bah bah bah.
I got to meet Ernest Hogan, who is in the Mothership antho with me, and Rudy Garcia. Also Jesus Trevino! He spoke about his involvement with the Chicano Rights Movement and how he leveraged his position as a really good director to get more Chicanos behind the camera and in the production side of things, which is super-important. (There's nothing like a well-established writer you've only just met asking you for an autograph. It still weirds me out a lot!)
But yeah, got home and was wiped.
I re-wrote my headnote at last though, which is a long time coming. I have no idea how this exam is going to go. Should write a reading a report for Dr. G and catch up with him at some point. At this rate, I really want to go to tomorrow's transformative pedagogy workshop but might have to give that a pass =(
Also, I managed to kill my air plant ~_~ I guess I overwatered, because I was poking at the dried-out leaves. The rest of it is still bright green and silver which indicates health, but... the roots fell off! And the inside of the plant felt kind of damp (it's looking black and almost moldy). I don't know. Maybe it's not quite that dead? We'll see.
